The object of `my invention is-to provide a horse` power which .will be handy to use,.havingsweeps with joints in them to fold up, so that the horse-power may Vpass through narrow places without being taken apart,

and being' arranged handy on two wheels.

A is the main ifi-ame, made four-square.

B, the master-wheel.

C, the main partof the sweeps, made with a joint, so asto fold up. l

I), a brace to the main sweep, niade so as to fold up also.

E E, trucks one. standard inside of the master-wheel, which serves to keep the master-wheel steady in place.

G G, pinions on the driving-shafts F F.

H, driving-wheel.

I, braces to hohl the. power in position.

K, wheels to move the power from place to place.

L, pinion meshing into pinions G G, and on a shaft on which is wheel H. Y

M, pinion, meshing into wheel H, and to which a tumbling-rod is to be attached.

N N, pinions on shafts F F, meshing into cogs on n the under side of master-wheel B.

` O, axle, which supports the works.

I? I, rollers or trucks on the standard to which E E are attached, and which holds the master-wheel down.V

Opera tion.

Set the power in position, staking down braces I I, to hold the power steady. rlhen straighten out the sweeps and hitch on your horses, and as they pull on the sweeps, the master-wheel wil/l'revolve, turning 'pinions vN N,whieh,re\'olve shafts F Fand pinion L, which will revolve Wheel H, and that, in turn, pinion M and the tumbling-rods. y
